Responding to a supplementary question of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s Senator Faisal Javed at the floor of the upper house of the parliament, she said since the government had come into power, there was no backchannel diplomacy going on between Pakistan and India.

Hina made it clear that if backchannel diplomacy was result oriented, it should be done.
She said the messages, being received from India, were all conflagratory that was why; there were no talks on any kind of trade between the two neighboring countries.

She expressed the possibly of talks if there was any opportunity and India comes to Pakistan’s demand. “It is duty of the politicians to do right things instead of coming in the way of diplomacy,” she maintained.

Balochistan Awami Paty’s Senator Danesh Kumar, appreciating the Kartarpur Corridor, said there was Hinglaj Mata temple in Balochistan which was almost five thousand years old adding that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was also its worshiper.

He expressed the hope that if this archeological site was promoted for religious tourism between Pakistan and India, it would have good impact on the social condition of the people of this coastal area.

He asked the minister for taking any peace-building initiative for this ancient religious temple like the Kartarpur Corridor.
